Hi Allen,

I feel the same way about ORGANIC. People are changing to catchy slogans or phrases to call attention to their thing.

Most are “GO GREEN” or “ORGANIC” to sell a product at a higher price. America wide, this is a very big thing.
In the state of Alabama, there is not an area large enough to have any one certain floral source for honey. Organic would be a very good thing if possible. Areas are not large enough to keep honey bees away from an area that has not been fertilized by commercial means. Also, what about the roadsides that are littered with drink cans? May not be very much gained from the cans, but it is some.

How would you detect the soft drink in honey? We have a booth at ‘The Old Time Fiddlers Convention’ in Athens, AL. At the food court, bees are all over the barrels of soda cans. Since we have an observation hive, they complain that our bees are getting out. We really enjoy this attention.
